transport

The distribution protocol is fairly simple, but correctly implementing authentication is hard.

This package implements an http.RoundTripper that transparently performs:

• Token Authentication and
• OAuth2 Authentication

for registry clients.

Raison d'être

Why not just use the docker/distribution client?

Great question! Mostly, because I don't want to depend on prometheus/client_golang.

As a performance optimization, that client uses a cache to keep track of a mapping between blob digests and their descriptors. Unfortunately, the cache uses prometheus to track hits and misses, so if you want to use that client you have to pull in all of prometheus, which is pretty large.

Why does it matter if you depend on prometheus? Who cares?

It's generally polite to your downstream to reduce the number of dependencies your package requires:

• Downloading your package is faster, which helps our Australian friends and people on airplanes.
• There is less code to compile, which speeds up builds and saves the planet from global warming.
• You reduce the likelihood of inflicting dependency hell upon your consumers.
• Tim Hockin prefers it based on his experience working on Kubernetes, and he's a pretty smart guy.

Okay, what about containerd/containerd?

Similar reasons! That ends up pulling in grpc, protobuf, and logrus.

Well... what about containers/image?

That just uses the the docker/distribution client... and more!

Wow, what about this package?

Of course, this package isn't perfect either. transport depends on authn, which in turn depends on docker's config file parsing and handling package, which you don't strictly need but almost certainly want if you're going to be interacting with a registry.

These graphs were generated by kisielk/godepgraph.

Usage

This is heavily used by the remote package, which implements higher level image-centric functionality, but this package is useful if you want to interact directly with the registry to do something that remote doesn't support, e.g. to handle with schema 1 images.

This package also includes some error handling facilities in the form of CheckError, which will parse the response body into a structured error for unexpected http status codes.

Here's a "simple" program that writes the result of listing tags for gcr.io/google-containers/pause to stdout.

package main

import (
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"os"

	"github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/authn"
	"github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/name"
	"github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/v1/remote/transport"
)

func main() {
	repo, err := name.NewRepository("gcr.io/google-containers/pause")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Fetch credentials based on your docker config file, which is $HOME/.docker/config.json or $DOCKER_CONFIG.
	auth, err := authn.DefaultKeychain.Resolve(repo.Registry)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Construct an http.Client that is authorized to pull from gcr.io/google-containers/pause.
	scopes := []string{repo.Scope(transport.PullScope)}
	t, err := transport.New(repo.Registry, auth, http.DefaultTransport, scopes)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	client := &http.Client{Transport: t}

	// Make the actual request.
	resp, err := client.Get("https://gcr.io/v2/google-containers/pause/tags/list")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Assert that we get a 200, otherwise attempt to parse body as a structured error.
	if err := transport.CheckError(resp, http.StatusOK); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Write the response to stdout.
	if _, err := io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp.Body); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Functions

func CheckError

func CheckError(resp *http.Response, codes ...int) error

CheckError returns a structured error if the response status is not in codes.

func New

func New(reg name.Registry, auth authn.Authenticator, t http.RoundTripper, scopes []string) (http.RoundTripper, error)

New returns a new RoundTripper based on the provided RoundTripper that has been setup to authenticate with the remote registry "reg", in the capacity laid out by the specified scopes.

TODO(jonjohnsonjr): Deprecate this.

func NewLogger

func NewLogger(inner http.RoundTripper) http.RoundTripper

NewLogger returns a transport that logs requests and responses to github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/logs.Debug.

func NewRetry

func NewRetry(inner http.RoundTripper, opts ...Option) http.RoundTripper

NewRetry returns a transport that retries errors.

func NewUserAgent

func NewUserAgent(inner http.RoundTripper, ua string) http.RoundTripper

NewUserAgent returns an http.Roundtripper that sets the user agent to The provided string plus additional go-containerregistry information, e.g. if provided "crane/v0.1.4" and this modules was built at v0.1.4:

User-Agent: crane/v0.1.4 go-containerregistry/v0.1.4

func NewWithContext

func NewWithContext(ctx context.Context, reg name.Registry, auth authn.Authenticator, t http.RoundTripper, scopes []string) (http.RoundTripper, error)

NewWithContext returns a new RoundTripper based on the provided RoundTripper that has been setup to authenticate with the remote registry "reg", in the capacity laid out by the specified scopes.

Types

type Backoff

type Backoff = retry.Backoff

Backoff is an alias of retry.Backoff to expose this configuration option to consumers of this lib

type Diagnostic

type Diagnostic struct {
	Code    ErrorCode   `json:"code"`
	Message string      `json:"message,omitempty"`
	Detail  interface{} `json:"detail,omitempty"`
}

Diagnostic represents a single error returned by a Docker registry interaction.

func (Diagnostic) String

func (d Diagnostic) String() string

String stringifies the Diagnostic in the form: $Code: $Message[; $Detail]

type Error

type Error struct {
	Errors []Diagnostic `json:"errors,omitempty"`
	// The http status code returned.
	StatusCode int
	// The request that failed.
	Request *http.Request

}

Error implements error to support the following error specification: https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/api.md#errors

func (*Error) Error

func (e *Error) Error() string

Error implements error

func (*Error) Temporary

func (e *Error) Temporary() bool

Temporary returns whether the request that preceded the error is temporary.

type ErrorCode

type ErrorCode string

ErrorCode is an enumeration of supported error codes.

const (
	BlobUnknownErrorCode         ErrorCode = "BLOB_UNKNOWN"
	BlobUploadInvalidErrorCode   ErrorCode = "BLOB_UPLOAD_INVALID"
	BlobUploadUnknownErrorCode   ErrorCode = "BLOB_UPLOAD_UNKNOWN"

	ManifestUnknownErrorCode     ErrorCode = "MANIFEST_UNKNOWN"
	ManifestUnverifiedErrorCode  ErrorCode = "MANIFEST_UNVERIFIED"
	NameInvalidErrorCode         ErrorCode = "NAME_INVALID"
	NameUnknownErrorCode         ErrorCode = "NAME_UNKNOWN"
	SizeInvalidErrorCode         ErrorCode = "SIZE_INVALID"
	TagInvalidErrorCode          ErrorCode = "TAG_INVALID"
	UnauthorizedErrorCode        ErrorCode = "UNAUTHORIZED"

	TooManyRequestsErrorCode     ErrorCode = "TOOMANYREQUESTS"
	UnknownErrorCode             ErrorCode = "UNKNOWN"

	// This isn't defined by either docker or OCI spec, but is defined by docker/distribution:
	// https://github.com/distribution/distribution/blob/6a977a5a754baa213041443f841705888107362a/registry/api/errcode/register.go#L60
	UnavailableErrorCode ErrorCode = "UNAVAILABLE"
)

The set of error conditions a registry may return: https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/api.md#errors-2

type Option

type Option func(*options)

Option is a functional option for retryTransport.

func WithRetryBackoff

func WithRetryBackoff(backoff Backoff) Option

WithRetryBackoff sets the backoff for retry operations.

func WithRetryPredicate

func WithRetryPredicate(predicate func(error) bool) Option

WithRetryPredicate sets the predicate for retry operations.

type Wrapper

type Wrapper struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Wrapper results in *not* wrapping supplied transport with additional logic such as retries, useragent and debug logging Consumers are opt-ing into providing their own transport without any additional wrapping.

func (*Wrapper) RoundTrip

func (w *Wrapper) RoundTrip(in *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)

RoundTrip delegates to the inner RoundTripper
